Aesop Rock | The A.V. Club

AVC: You’ve said you were interested in writing campfire and ghost-story-type stuff for your next album.

AR: Sort of. I have a few things for whatever my next record’s gonna be. I just like the idea of coming off, like, “Let’s sit around and hear some stories,” that kind of a vibe. Eating beans with some hobos.

AVC: Down by the tracks?

AR: Yeah, exactly. I want to be cooking a hot dog on a stick. That’s the vibe I want it to be. Just, “Everyone gather around,” and it’s kind of moody, and “Let’s hear some shit, you know, some really vivid interesting shit.” When you see the scene in the movie where they’re doing the campfire story, and it’s always exaggerated, and everyone’s on the edge of their seat, biting their nails, and it’s like, “And then this happened, and then this… Aaaahh!”
